This video introduces the fun and community-building tradition of pin trading within Destination Imagination (DI). It explains how teams from around the world exchange collectible pins as a way to meet others, share team identity, and build friendships at tournaments and Global Finals.
The guide also highlights how pin trading is just beginning at the Massachusetts affiliate level, encouraging teams and families to help grow the tradition locally. Viewers will learn the simple one-for-one trading concept, how to get started, and how Challenge Me, Inc. (CMI) pins can help jump-start participation.
Pin Ordering
Pin trading is new to MADI this year, and CMI wants to help build it up! It’s a fun tradition at many Destination Imagination tournaments, where teams bring custom pins to trade with students from other schools. It’s a great way to encourage interaction, celebrate creativity, and give participants a keepsake from the event. Watch the video below to learn more about it.
CMI pins are available for purchase now through tournament day, with delivery to your team by Saturday (or local pickup is also available). Supplies are limited, so be sure to order early while they last! There are also pins from past tournaments and other states available for purchase at the MADI tournament merchandise table, as well as their own sets specific to this year (think dessert!).
